At present I have some jQuery tabs and these tabs contain links. Unfortunately on following one of the links, the new page opens as if you were following any normal link i.e. not within the tab which is want I would want to happen.

Have tried following this section but to no avail: http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/#…open_links_in_the_current_tab_instead_of_leaving_the_page

Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

    You need to add this after your current .tabs() call:

    $('.ui-tabs-panel a').click(function() {
  $(this).closest('.ui-tabs-panel').load(this.href);
  return false;
});

    The issue is that you’re not initially loading the pages as ajax, the content is there with the page loads (meaning that load event isn’t firing yet). To fix this, in addition to hooking up the click handler when new content loads, you need to rig it up on document.ready as well.

    Alternatively, you could replace the both load event and the above code with a single .live() handler, like this:

    $(function() {
  $("#tabs").tabs();
  $('.ui-tabs-panel a').live('click', function() {
    $(this).closest('.ui-tabs-panel').load(this.href);
    return false;
  });
});
